ALBERT P. ILANGLOIS, 0F NORWALK, CONNECTICUT.

HEAT DISTRIBUTOR.

Application filed June 24, 1922. Serial No. 570,628.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT P. LANGLOIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nor-walk, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented new and of which the following is'a specification. V

This invention aims to provide a heat distributing device, for use inconjunction with building structures, and designed to convey or distribute heat rising from a single furnace pipe, and to two, three or four different rooms, the device being associated with a register whereby admittance of heat to these rooms can be controlled. I

The nature and advantages of'the invention will bebetter understood when the fol-- lowing detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings,

thein'vention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and whereinf Figure 1 is a perspective view of a corner of a room showing a portion of the device associated with that particular room.

Figure 2 is'a plan view of the device and the position thereof when associated with the adjacent corners of four rooms, the walls of these rooms being shown in-section.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken through Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a bottom plan view of the preferred form of the invention with the register removed. Y a

Figure 5 is a slightly modified form ofthe invention.

Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on line 6-6 of Figure 5.

In Figures 1 to 4. inclusive, I have illustrated one form of the invention, which is designed to distribute heat from a single furnace pipe 10 ,into four different rooms ofv the building structure, and the device illustrated for this purpose consists ofa base 11 which possesses a configuration similar to a cross in plan. Depending from each section or portion of the base is a partition 12, and at the outer end of each partition is arranged a supporting flange 13 whichforms part of the respective portions or sections of the base as shown. It isof course to be understood that the flanges 13 project an appreciable distance beyond the opposed sides'of the adjacent partition 12'. Support ed upon the base 11 are attaching flanges 14.. which are arranged along the sides of each portion of the base, the flanges being arranged to define intersecting channels 16 to receive the adjacent walls of the building.

The device above described is adapted to be directly above the furnace pipe 10, and receives registers, one'of which is disposed in each corner of the device as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings which is interposed between the pipe 10, and the heat distributor. This device is designed to provide four sections, which communicate with the adjacent rooms of the structure. so that the heat rising in the pipe 10 can be admitted to any of the rooms as desired. The adja cent walls of the building structure are arranged in the channels above referred to.

Manifestly, as the heat rises in the pipe 10, the same passes through the registers, strik- In Figures 5 and 6. I have illustrated a lnodifiedform of the inventionwherein the heat distributor possesses substantially the same configuration as the structure illustratedin Figure 1, except that the flanges 20- are detachablv secured to the base 21 mg against the bottom of thebase 11, and is therebv deflected into thedifferent rooms.

through the medium of screw bolts 20'. This form of the invention can he used in conjunction with a building by simply cutting away the adjacent walls and sliding the distributor into proper position over the heat distributing pipe of the furnace. The

flanges 20 are first attached to'the adjoining walls, and after'the distributor has been arranged in position, the flanges are suitably secured to the base 21. The device in. this form of the invention is used in substantially the same manner asthat described and shown in connection with the form shown in Figure 1. 7

While it is believed that from the foregoing descriptiom'the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent. I desire to have it understood that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is A heat distributor for adjacent rooms of building structures, comprising a base of angular outline and adapted to be arranged beneath adjacent walls of the structure, a portion 01 the base extending into the adj acent rooins, said distributor being arranged above the heat conducting pipe of a furnace, and designed to convey the hot air admitted from said pipe to the said adjacent rooms, flanges rising from the base and arranged to receive said Walls and flanges depending from the outer edges of the base 10 to provide a supporting nieans therefor.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

ALBERT P. LANGLOIS.
